Isaiah 50
1 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Ya kowos nunku mu nga supwala mwet luk in som likiyu Oana sie mukul su sisla mutan kial? Na, pia pwepu in fahsrelik an? Ya kowos nunku mu nga tuh kukakin kowos in akfalye soemoul luk, Oana sie mwet su kukakin tulik natul tuh elos in mwet kohs? Mo, kowos tuh som nu in sruoh ke sripen ma koluk lowos; Nga supwekowosla ke sripen orekma koluk lowos.
Thus said YHWH: “Where [is] this—the bill of your mother’s divorce, Whom I sent away? Or to which of My creditors have I sold you? Behold, you have been sold for your iniquities, And for your transgressions Your mother has been sent away.
2 “Efu ku mwet luk uh tia porongeyu Ke nga som nu yorolos in molelos? Efu elos ku tia topuk pacl se nga pang? Mea, nga arulana munas in molelosla? Nga ku in akpaoyela meoa ke sap na luk, Ac oru tuh infacl uh in ekla nu ke acn mwesis, Na ik loac fah misa mweyen lisr kof.
Why have I come, and there is no one? I called, and there is none answering, Has My hand been at all short of redemption? And is there not power in Me to deliver? Behold, by My rebuke I dry up a sea, I make rivers a wilderness, Their fish stink, for there is no water, And die with thirst.
3 Nga ku in oru yen engyeng uh in lohsrla, In oana elan asor ke sie mwet misa.”
I clothe the heavens [with] blackness, And I make their covering sackcloth.”
4 LEUM GOD Fulatlana El lutiyu ma nga in fahk, Tuh nga in ku in akkeye mwet munas. Lotutang nukewa El oru nga in kena Tari lohng ma El ac lutiyu kac.
Lord YHWH has given to Me The tongue of taught ones, To know to aid the weary [by] a word, He awakens [Me] morning by morning, He awakens [My] ear to hear as taught ones.
5 LEUM GOD El ase etauk nu sik, Ac nga tiana lainul Ku forla lukel.
Lord YHWH opened My ear, And I did not rebel—I did not move backward.
6 Nga fuhlelana elos in sringil fintukuk. Nga tia kutongolos ke elos fahk kas in akkolukyeyu Ac fis unen alut luk Ac ani nu in mutuk.
I have given My back to those striking, And My cheeks to those plucking out, I did not hide My face from shame and spitting.
7 Tusruktu kas in akkoluk lalos koflana akmunasyeyu Mweyen LEUM GOD Fulatlana El kasreyu. Nga sikulyuwi na ku, tuh nga in muteng ma elos oru. Nga etu lah nga ac tia akmwekinyeyuk,
And Lord YHWH gives help to Me, Therefore I have not been ashamed, Therefore I have set My face as a flint, And I know that I am not ashamed.
8 Mweyen God El apkuran nu sik, Ac El fah akpwayei lah wangin ma koluk luk. Ya oasr mwet ac pulaik in orek tukak keik? Lela nga el in tukeni som nu ke nununku! Lela elan fahk tukak lal an we!
Near [is] He who is justifying Me, Who contends with Me? We stand together, who [is] My opponent? Let him come near to Me.
9 LEUM GOD Fulatlana El ac loangeyu, Na su ku in akpwayei lah oasr ma koluk luk? Mwet nukewa ma orek tukak keik ac wanginla, Elos ac wanginla oana sie ipin nuknuk ma watilla uh.
Behold, Lord YHWH gives help to Me, Who [is] he that declares Me wicked? Behold, all of them wear out as a garment, A moth eats them.
10 Kowos nukewa su akfulatye LEUM GOD Ac akos kas lun mwet kulansap lal, Sahp ac ku in lohsr inkanek ma kowos fahsr kac, Tusruktu lulalfongina in LEUM GOD, ac fungyang nu sel.
“Who [is] among you, fearing YHWH, Listening to the voice of His Servant, That has walked in dark places, And there is no brightness for him? Let him trust in the Name of YHWH, And lean on his God.
11 Kowos nukewa su oru pwapa koluk in kunausla mwet saya Ac fah kunausyukla ke pwapa koluk lowos. LEUM GOD El ac fah oru tuh in ouinge. Ke saflaiya uh kowos ac fah keok ke mwe ongoiya na koluk.
Behold, all you kindling a fire, girding on sparks, Walk in the light of your fire, And in the sparks you have caused to burn, This has been to you from My hand, You lie down in grief!”
